The cool breeze is fragrant on a summer night, and the white lotus blooms at night on the West Lake.

Yueping Restaurant, located on the bank of the West Lake River in Hengzhou Fucheng, is a five-story attic building.

The West Lake is full of white lotus, whenever in the middle of summer, the cool night breeze blows, the endless green lotus ripples layer by layer, and the white lotus flowers compete to open, exuding the fragrance of the quiet lotus to refresh people's hearts.

The famous work "Ai Lian Said" originated from this.

It's just that it's only mid-spring now, and the scene of the white lotus in the lake has not yet appeared, only the floating leaves are floating on the surface of the lake.

But despite this, the green lotus leaves are also green all over the lake, a piece of spring is full of vitality, which makes people look forward to and vitality.

The Yueping Restaurant was built here in order to take the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

It's just that although the beautiful scenery of the West Lake is good, the hustle and bustle in the Yueping Restaurant is not in the scene at this time.

"So many people?"

Zhao Yu was dragged into Yueping Restaurant by Chu Wangqiu, and was suddenly shocked by the noisy atmosphere in a trance.

But I saw that in the tall restaurant, there were tables one after another, and many students in Confucian shirts filled all those tables, eating and drinking there, and there were many people gathered in front of the stairs in the middle.

No, it can't be called a staircase, maybe it's better to call it a ladder!

I saw that the staircase was independent in the middle of the restaurant, open on all sides, like a ladder, leading to the fifth floor at the top of the restaurant.

And this ladder can only go up to the fifth floor, and it does not lead to the second to fourth floors, but there is a platform of more than ten square meters in the parallel position of each floor.

Around this tall ladder, except for the fifth floor, which is closed, all the other floors are built around it, and all of them are open, no matter which floor you are on, you can see the scene of other floors, and you can also see the situation of the entire ladder.

The whole building is like a modern shopping mall.

"Brother Zhao, look! The staircase in the middle is the climbing ladder of Yueping Tower, which indicates that the field is moving forward and climbing higher! Today's game is played on this climbing ladder, and now those students on the climbing ladder are breaking through! ”

As soon as Chu Wangqiu entered Yueping Tower, he was very excited, hurriedly pulled Zhao Yu, and stretched out his hand to point to the ladder surrounded by many students.

"Do you want to go forward and climb higher? That's appropriate! ”

Zhao Yu nodded, looking at the ladder with his eyes flickering, the ladder can only go straight to the top floor, isn't it just going forward?

And Zhao Yu also saw the students on the ladder, they were meditating on the platform on each floor, from the bottom to the top, there were fewer and fewer students on each floor.

On the floors around the ladder, more people sat at the dining table, eating and drinking, while watching with interest the students on the ladder break through, so lively.

"Welcome to Yueping Tower!"

Just as Luo Chen looked up at the climbing ladder and the surrounding floors, on the high platform on the side of the climbing ladder on the first floor, a middle-aged scribe smiled at the students who came in one after another outside the gate, and said loudly:

"According to the rules, there are new students coming, and I reiterate the rules of the game! In order to wish all students the high school entrance examination, I Yuepinglou held this game today! ”

"There are four levels in the game, and those who pass the first level will go up to the second floor and will be rewarded with five pieces of high-quality rice paper! This rice paper is made of green sandalwood bark as the main raw material, with the unique mountain stream spring water of Jing County, thin as cicada wings, moist as green clouds, is a good product of calligraphy and painting! ”

"Those who pass the second level will go up to the third floor and be rewarded with a Zihao pen! This pen is made of the tip of the mountain rabbit flower, hard and soft suitable for human hands, a hundred tubes are not bad, with it, the article to catch! ”

"Those who pass the third level will go up to the fourth floor and be rewarded with Huimo! This ink is made of more than 10 kinds of materials such as tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, etc., and has the characteristics of black color, long-lasting, rich fragrance, rich skin and greasy, etc., which is the best product in ink! ”

"Finally, those who pass the fourth level, go up to the fifth floor, and reward the eyebrow wrinkles, treasures! In addition, there is a Luoyou fairy waiting on the fifth floor, and those who go upstairs can communicate with the Luoyou fairy closely, listen to the Luoyou fairy bullet song, and enjoy the scenery together! ”

"Everyone, each person only has one chance to play, the time is limited, please come and participate in the first level of the game, throw the pot!"

After saying the rules of the game in one breath, the middle-aged scribe danced with long sleeves and smiled at the climbing ladder beside him.

Looked at!

"Hah! The four treasures of the study, the beautiful woman plays, such an elegant thing, how can there be no me? ”

"Such a good study, it is none other than me!"

"Haha, I heard that Fairy Luoyou is the best in the world just by her back, so can you repay your face? Be sure to see it today! ”

Hearing the introduction of the middle-aged scribe, several students who had just entered Yueping Tower immediately laughed, and they all walked straight to the middle ladder excitedly.

Door.

"Brother Zhao, how is it?"

Chu Wangqiu withdrew his gaze from the climbing ladder and looked at Zhao Yu beside him with excitement on his face, looking eager to try.

Zhao Yu didn't respond, and at this moment he was looking at a student who walked out of the crowd in front of him.

The student had passed the first hurdle, but had not passed the second hurdle, and was walking to his seat with a smile on his face with a few large pieces of rice paper.

I saw that the rice paper was tough, pure white and fine, light but not slippery, dense and translucent, which was the best rice paper, and it was a good product for painting and calligraphy.

"Really?"

Seeing that the rice paper was genuine, Zhao Yu's eyes lit up.

If it's all true, then this set of four treasures of the study is not cheap.

Such an elegant thing, such a beautiful thing, how can it live up to the good intentions of others?

"Let's go! And voila! ”

Zhao Yu was aroused, and raised his feet and walked towards the climbing ladder in front.

Chu Wangqiu was even more impatient and strode to keep up.

Later, Wei Xiao didn't pay any attention to the game, he just followed Zhao Yu closely, vigilantly around, and vigilant to everyone who approached Zhao Yu.

The three of them came to the ladder.

I didn't squeeze it, I just stood outside the crowd and looked inside with my head raised.

As you can see, the game in this first level is pot throwing, a kind of archery, which corresponds to the 'shooting' in the six arts of the gentleman.

There is a large open space in front of the stairs of the ladder, and there is a high-necked copper kettle on the ground, and the middle-aged scribe just now is presiding here, and the students who break through each have four arrows without arrows, and the three middle schools are considered to have successfully broken through.

It's just that after a few glances, Zhao Yu smiled, and he also knew why Yue Pinglou was so arrogant to take out such a valuable thing as a reward.

Because, this thing is not easy to take!

In other words, there will not be many people who can succeed in breaking through the level.

I saw that the diameter of the copper kettle was only two inches, but the distance of throwing it required five steps.

At this time, one step is about one meter, and five steps are more than five meters.

The original standard for throwing pots is that the diameter of the spout is two and a half inches, and the distance of throwing is two and a half arrows, which is about one meter to one meter and five.

Yue Pinglou reduced the diameter of the copper kettle by half an inch, and increased the distance by three or four meters, this kind of difficulty, it would be good to be able to hit, if you want to be three out of four, it is very difficult!

"Dang!"

Just when Zhao Yu was looking at the standard of throwing pots, a metallic sound sounded, but it was a student who was throwing pots who threw the last arrow, which hit the mouth of the copper pot and fell to the ground.

"Four out of one, it's a pity that it didn't work, I hope to make persistent efforts!"

The middle-aged scribe smiled at the student and spread his hands, then walked over and picked up the arrow that had fallen by the copper kettle.

When the student saw the failure, he was full of despair.

Seeing this, the middle-aged scribe smiled at the student again:

"This student doesn't need to be discouraged, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although you didn't shoot, but you can order a table of wine and food, and watch the battle from the sidelines, which is also a beautiful thing!"

"Not bad! I have to come here today without getting drunk and going home! ”

The student suddenly held his head high again, turned and walked to the table next to him.

It's not just this student.

As the pitcher continued, whenever someone failed, the middle-aged scribe would say so, and those students would basically go to the side to order a table of wine and food and continue to watch the battle.

And the pitcher of this first level, as Zhao Yu guessed, it was rare for one out of ten people to shoot, and many students failed and became a member of the table.

"There is a way to make money!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu was amazed in his heart.

Yue Pinglou came up with such a game gimmick, which attracted many students to participate, and in the end, most of them fell into the sand and became diners on the table, which can bring a lot of business to Yue Pinglou, and also won fame, killing two birds with one stone!

"Tsk!"

couldn't help but smack his lips again, and Zhao Yu immediately continued to watch the pitcher with great interest.

And with the passage of time.

As more and more students finished throwing pots, there were fewer and fewer people in front of Zhao Yu, and finally let him and Chu Wangqiu be at the front.

"Two students, do you want to participate in the game?"

Another student failed to throw a pot, and the middle-aged scribe picked up the arrow and looked at Zhao Yu and Chu Wangqiu at the front with a smile.
